In 2005, twelve cartoons mocking the prophet Mohammed appeared in
the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, igniting a political
firestorm over demands by some Muslims that the claims of their
religious faith take precedence over freedom of expression. Given
the explosive reaction from Middle Eastern governments, Muslim
clerics, and some Danish politicians, the stage was set for a
backlash against Muslims in Denmark. But no such backlash occurred.
Paradoxes of Liberal Democracy shows how the majority of ordinary
Danish citizens provided a solid wall of support for the rights of
their country's growing Muslim minority, drawing a sharp
distinction between Muslim immigrants and Islamic fundamentalists
and supporting the civil rights of Muslim immigrants as fully as
those of fellow Danes--for example, Christian fundamentalists.
Building on randomized experiments conducted as part of large,
nationally representative opinion surveys, Paradoxes of Liberal
Democracy also demonstrates how the moral covenant underpinning the
welfare state simultaneously promotes equal treatment for some
Muslim immigrants and opens the door to discrimination against
others. Revealing the strength of Denmark's commitment to
democratic values, Paradoxes of Liberal Democracy underlines the
challenges of inclusion but offers hope to those seeking to
reconcile the secular values of liberal democracy and the religious
faith of Muslim immigrants in Europe.
